The Finance Minister met with the British Energy Minister Charles Hendry for talks about the energy policy in the EU, the development of renewable energy sources and increasing the security of energy supply.

"We agree that Europe needs to encourage the development of its energy infrastructure. Our energy networks must become more powerful and smarter. That is where Austria can particularly benefit because of its position as an energy hub in the heart of Europe," Mitterlehner said at the meeting in the Ministry of Economy.
